I know there was discussion about this before in a thread that got locked but I thought it was an interesting subject. Should we elect moderators? Or is it better that they are appointed by the admin staff who spend time deliberating over the decision with the existing moderating staff? I wasn't so much thinking of it in a "yeah we need new mods, screw the current ones" way, but rather, people disappear from the forum all the time, including moderators, and it wasn't until relatively recently that a bunch of them were demoted because they were no longer active members so it looked silly having them on the mod team. Should moderators be elected on an annual basis? Every two years?
